  Owning a home isn’t a job. If you hold onto a property and prevent the occupants from purchasing it because that makes you more money, then that makes you a parasite. Living off other people’s paychecks.

    Not at all, those occupants participate in the market and have choices like everybody else.

      Yeah, rent from someone or starve what a goddamn choice that is.

        It’s easy as 1, 2, 3 work hard, buy a home, and just give it away to anyone for free.
